Default Camber & Wheel Questions (newbie questions)

Hello everyone, this is the second thread i made and i hope these questions haven't been covered yet because i tried searching it and came up with no results.

What is needed to run cambered wheels?

I heard of camber arms is needed, but what else? There's also a front and a rear camber kit for the rear! Yes, front and rear kit for the rear, do i need both or just one of them?

The megan arms has only either the front or the rear arm for the rear, but im looking at another brand and it has a front one for the rear and a rear one for the rear so im just a bit confused!

I plan to run aggressive wheels with fenders rolled and hopefully no pull with camber arms.

You guys think i'd be able to pull 19x9.5 +18 and 19x10.5 +20 pretty damn flush with a little poke?

I know there's a wheel questions thread but i just thought of throwing this one in the there well.

Thanks in advance everyone!

Check out this thread. The black IS250 with the mesh Lusso Forged is running 19x9 and 19x10.5 +16 all around. Both him and I have the Megan rear upper camber arms, liners cut, fenders/quarters rolled, metal shaved up front. You can do it. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...hotoshoot.html

Ahh megan upper arms. Would that be the same as the "front" rear camber arms i mentioned? And awesome! Looks like it could be pulled off nicely haha. Thanks for the response as well!

Pretty sure you'll want to get both in the long run, one is the toe and the other is camber.

Most people just get the camber and I *THINK* you don't really need the toe because it can be adjusted with our current setup at the alignment shop. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Also I dont believe anybody makes any official front camber kit for our cars. Alot of the guys that use camber kits in the front rig up a first gen IS camber kit and put it on our second gens. The ones SFFD linked I believe are the lower bars (camber) but can also get the upper bars (toe) which u linked. If you plan on going as low as him, you should probably invest in both.

Thanks

EDIT I'm talkin about RWD IS250 Models.

Deege is right. Toe will wear out your tire more than camber so you should really get those also to have adjustability. There is a front camber kit for the front. It's made by SPC I believe.
